To me, the song has something (but only something, not everything) to do with Harrisons love of guitars (or music in general). Earlier, he wrote a song about all kind of things happening while his guitar gently wept; this time the wah-wah-guitar features.
I didn't know that wah-wah meant a headache. Did George come up with this meaning? Did the wah-wah sound coming out of a guitar cause Georges head to ache?
The song is a good one to open a show with (as George did on - the interesting part of - the concert for Bangladesh). Maybe 'wah-wah' was just the combination of sounds that this kind of song needed to make it grand. Maybe George only added a meaning to it when he tried to write some lyrics around this 'wah-wah' chorus.
